The most beautiful car in the world?

The NSX is a timeless car. It's definitely up there in the looks and design department but is it the best? Absolutely not. McClaren F1, P1, Hyura just to name a few imo are better looking. Is the NSX in the top 10? That's definitely more arguable. It's definitely one of the most beautiful cars ever designed.. But one of several more that are now out there.
I agree with those stating that the NSX is truly a timeless design. It is also, in my opinion, a sleek, flowing and dimensionally excellent design that fits what Honda was attempting perfectly. It is beautiful the way the Countach is beautiful but has aged better, at least better than the 5000 S's and Anniversary cars of the late 90's. The LP 400 cars are something to see, almost like the NSX concept images but 20 years earlier.
When I think of cars that epitomize beauty I think of Jaguar XK-120's and Series 1 E-types, Mercedes gullwings, Lambo Miura's, Ferrari Lusso's and 275's, Alfa 8C's. Even the C2 generation of Corvette is a very pleasing to the eye design that few mention in these conversations. To me the F-40 is an aggressive looking car, mean and raw but not beautiful in the conventional sense (and yet is at the top of my "keeper" list of cars to own). But that 's why we're individuals with varied taste's and likes.

Instead of picking just one I have several favorites and yes my '97 NSX is on the list but I'd also add:
Porsche 959
Dino Ferrari
Lamborghini Miura
'69 Corvette Stingray
I'll take them all!

All of the above are great choices.
That would be a great rebody for a old Pantera, too bad none makes a alum replica of this car.....Loved it as one of my first matchbox cars......yes I am that old
I'm with you on that Dave. Not a fan of it in the least bit
You guys better get your eye checked out...the Dino and the NSX are very much true timeless beauties.
And these would be my pick.

Dino is a fantastic looking car, differently than the Miura but still a great design. That said, in no way is the car actually worth it's current trading price, which some folks use to determine beauty. Having driven a couple of examples, it's simply not a $400K car, period.

OK, I give up. WTF IS that?!?
I'll add these as the most beautiful cars ever, in my preference order:
- 1937 Talbot Lago http://davepics.com/Misc/Cars/Talbot/tn/Talbot_Lago_1937_T150_SS.jpg.html
- Early E-type Jag (it's almost a tie for first place for me)
- F Dino
- Lambo Miura
- NSX
- '68 or '69 Dodge Charger (no, really)
- Porsche 962 especially in Lowenbrau livery http://www.sportscardigest.com/lowenbrau-special-porsche-962-car-profile/
- '70 Boss 302 (no, really)

Personally, I think that car looks better in blue!!!
Lambo LP is sick... But that's a kit on regular one
I like white, with 3 pedals and the smaller wing. I do like the subdued decal vs. the larger version.
